A dyslexic walks into a bra...

What's red and white and screams? A peeled baby in a bucket of salt.



*laffin*..

That last one has potential for thread closure...
The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.

There is also a Finnish word for "joy of others misfortune": Vahingonilo. Vahinko = misfortune, accident; Ilo = joy.  ;)

I'm a terrible pun maker, but here's a aeons old one:

What did a wall say to the other?
-Meet you in the corner

And this finnish pun is playing with words:

Tuu kattoon kun kärpänen tapettiin tapettiin.

You translate that as meaning that you should come to watch, or literally go to the ceiling to see a fly being killed on tapestry....yeah, tapestry and "killed" are said in the same way...

Pirate walks into a bar.
Bartender looks up and says, "Sir, are you aware you have a steering wheel stuck in your zipper?"
Pirate replies: "Yaaargh, it's driving me nuts."


Prayers that need no answer now, cause I'm tired of who I am
You were my greatest mistake, I fell in love with your sin
Your littlest sin.
